official has described the violence there as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing and myanmar's aung sun suu kyi led government has been criticized for not doing enough for not speaking up for this range a minority for failing to condemn the violence carried out by the myanmar military and for failing to adequately investigate the allegations of atrocities carried out by its soldiers now and most recently for failing to create a safe environment for refugees who fled to bangladesh to return to myanmar now the myanmar government says that the threat of terrorism still continues and that it has to be careful but academics have also pointed out that the that trying to lay the blame on a group of fighters fight it's a faith that only fighting for the human rights of the revenge of minority well that's not going to solve the issue because what really can solve the issue of what's happening in rakhine state that is to end the widespread discrimination against the range of minority and that is something that we've not seen the myanmar government address indeed unfold suchi was addressing so

state this was the reason the myanmar military gave when it launched its crackdown in northern rakhine state against the ranger a year ago it said its operation was in response to attacks on security posts carried out by a little known armed group that calls itself the arca salvation army now the military's actions have been condemned by the international community as disproportionate a u.n. official has described the violence taking place against the rangers as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing and the myanmar government has been criticized for not doing enough to help the will hinder for not speaking out for the region for not adequately investigating the reports of atrocities committed against the injured and lately for not creating a safe enough environment for refugees who fled to bangladesh to return to me on now the government lays the blame for the violence on this little known group are a group of armed fighters who intend say they're fighting for the rights of the minority in myanmar now academics say the root of the problem really is discrimination against this minority

myanmar, philippines and bangladesh arejust industry. myanmar, philippines and bangladesh are just three of the top ten countries around the world but most affected by frequent extreme weather events. with an additional 3- 40 weather events. with an additional 3— 40 million people expected to live in asia by 2025, the need for sustainable infrastructure has become critical. those are the latest findings from the asia infrastructure investment bank, the china led lender has extended an invitation into the private sector and government to explore sustainable building products. i asked the vice president if these investors were sceptical of the bank ties to the chinese government. we have 87 member countries, we don't follow the ideas of any one country, all of those lenders work together to establish policies which it established that we operate to high standards. we must fund projects that are economically sustainable. we have high environmental and social standards. there are countries like malaysia who are pulling out of the belt road

our lead story is the un's condemnation of what's happened in myanmar. it's also issued a damning report on the conflict in yemen. it is about the conflict. it's online if you want to read. if you do, you'll see the un accusing all sides of war crimes. yemeni government forces are backed by a saudi—led coalition. houthi rebels have the support of iran. both sides are accused of showing disregard for civilian life. this is one member of the un's mission on yemen. despite the severity of the situation, we continue to witness a total disregard of the suffering of people of yemen. this crisis has reached its peak, with no apparent site of light at the end of the tunnel. this conflict has to end. civilians have suffered enough. the un has described the situation in yemen as the world's worst humanitarian crisis. around 6000 people have died, and more than 22 million people — 75% of the population — are in desperate need of aid. this conflict began in 2011 during the arab uprisings. long—standing president ali abdullah saleh was driven out — and powe

it's been done in the case of syria, they may well do it in the case of myanmar. there's no doubt the incredibly damning language of this report will give much more diplomatic momentum behind the determination to have some kind of accountability. and remember, most european countries, most north american countries and, indeed, most muslim countries are behind this diplomatic push to bring these generals tojustice. what it does do comprehensibly, this report, i think, is it absolutely shatters the reputation of aung san suu kyi, already badly tarnished. even to this day, she continues to defend her generals and to deny the human rights abuses. and she's put herself firmly on the side of those who are going to end up, likely, in some kind of international dock. new research suggests that the price of meat, vegetables and dairy products will rise by at least 5% in the coming months because of this year's extreme weather. the centre for economics and business research said the winter freeze, followed by the recent heatwave, had put huge strain on farming costs and yie

a year after violence in myanmar prompted hundreds of thousands of rohingya muslims to flee the country, the un secretary general has said those responsible must be held to account. the security council met overnight to discuss a report published on monday which called for myanmar‘s military leaders to face charges including genocide. the actor and un goodwill ambassador cate blanchett recently visited bangladesh where thousands of rohingya muslims have been forced to flee. she's been speaking to our correspondent nada tawfik. well, i think that, you know, part of the security council's remit is to highlight and to continually and unfailingly not give up, you know. i'm just coming from speaking to the secretary general and you know when a situation is impossible, you have to push harder, you know. and despair is something that we cannot give in to. and when you see the resilience of the refugees themselves and when you sit in a school with children who have lost parents, children who have seen their grandparents pushed back into burning buildings and set on fire. you know, i sat with

the de—facto leader of myanmar, aung san suu kyi, has defended her government's handling of the crisis in rakhine state, nearly a year after a violent military operation against rohingya militants killed thousands, and drove 750,000 refugees into neighbouring bangladesh. speaking on an official visit to singapore, she blamed bangladesh forfailing to send the refugees back to myanmar. 0ur south east asia correspondent jonathan head has more. this was a setpiece piece by aung san suu kyi in a country where she was guaranteed a sympathetic audience. singapore is one of myanmar‘s largest investors in trading partners. much of it dwelt on the troubled history of myanmar‘s developments, but she did talk about the government's efforts to deal with the rakhine crisis, paying tribute to the contribution of former un secretary general kofi and nine who died last week. however, aung san suu kyi made no mention of the allegations of massive human rights abuses by the burmese military against the rohingya people population, playing in what she called terrorism for the crisis, which is said stil
